Rob Ness is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Queen’s University and obtained his PhD from the University of Toronto. Following his doctoral studies, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on understanding genetic variation that is necessary for evolution, particularly how natural selection operates on mutations to create new variants. His lab employs a combination of experimental evolution, computational biology, population genetics, and genomics to investigate how new genetic combinations are generated and how they interact with processes like genetic drift and natural selection to influence biological diversity. Dr. Ness is actively involved in mentoring graduate students and encourages those interested in pursuing MSc or PhD opportunities to reach out for further information.
